+
+There are a few ways to get notified of new posts to the Mediocre Blog.
+
+## Method 1: RSS
+
+RSS is the classic way to follow any blog. Simply give any RSS reader the
+following URL...
+
+<a href="{{site.url}}/feed.xml">{{site.url}}/feed.xml</a>
+
+...and posts from this blog will show up as soon as they are published.
+
+There are literally thousands of RSS readers out there. Here's some
+recommendations:
+
+* [Google Chrome Browser Extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-feed-reader/pnjaodmkngahhkoihejjehlcdlnohgmp)
+
+* [spaRSS](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.etuldan.sparss.floss/) is my
+  preferred android RSS reader, but you'll need to install
+  [f-droid](https://f-droid.org/) on your device (a good thing to do anyway,
+  imo).
+
+* TODO: an iOS reader, for you Apple users. Someone please [email
+  me](mailto:mediocregopher.com) a recommendation.
+
+
+## Method 2: Twitter
+
+New posts are automatically published to [my Twitter](https://twitter.com/{{
+site.twitter_username }}). Simply follow me there and pray the algorithm smiles
+upon my tweets enough to show them to you! :pray: :pray: :pray:
+
+## Method 3: Email
+
+I do solemnly swear to never ever ever:
+
+* Email you anything that's not a notification about new blog posts.
+
+* Give your email address to anyone for any reason.
+
+* Track whether or not you've opened the emails, clicked the links inside, or
+  anything like that. Delete every single one, I don't care.
+
+With that out of the way... if you'd like to receive an email everytime a new
+post is published just type in your email and hit "Subscribe" below!
